Visual Basic error in Excel2000

[SJH]

Recently I started getting the following visual basic error when I start up
Excel2000 "Compile error in hidden module:AutoExecNew". I get the following
error when I close Excel "Compile error in hidden moduleistMon". When I
click "OK" the program continues and other than the PIA factor, it does not
seem to impact the operations of the program.

I have tried to reinstall Excel2000, but it did not fix the problem.

Short of upgrading, any ideas on how to fix.

It is a fault of one your add-ins. Go to the Tools menu, choose
Add-Ins, and uncheck each add-in, restarting each time. When you
uncheck the offending add-in, you will no longer receive the
error messages. Then, add back the add-ins, except for the one
that causes the problem.

Take a look here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q307410
OFF: "Compile Error in Hidden Module" Error Message When You Start
Word or Excel

It points at PDFMaker.xla as being the culprit.

If you move/delete that addin, you should be ok.

Chip, only had 2 Add Ins. Removed both and restarted. The error message
did not go away.

Dave,

Thanx for the help. The link you provided relates to an error related to
Adobe Acrobat 5.0. I have never had this version, but do use Acrobat 6.0.
No updates seem to be available for this version.

I'd still try moving/deleting pdfmaker.xla, though.

I moved pdfmaker.xla as suggested by the your link. Error message still came
up.

 

[Dave Peterson]

Do you have multiple versions of pdfmaker.xla in multiple XLStart folders?

And the error message was exactly the same?

I moved pdfmaker.xla as suggested by the your link. Error message still came
up.
